As a female developer over 40 it looks like my job prospects are minimal - depressing message on a Monday morning 🙁

But thank goodness for the public sector as our entire development team are over 40 and 80% female. And yes, we can work as a team or individuals. Maybe others should appreciate the skills of the older generation as with later and later retirement ages there are plenty of us around to build experienced development teams.

Also most older folk find team working far easier when working with those of their own age and similar values (home, family etc) than with the young upwardly-mobile here-today-gone-tomorrow developers of our children's generation.
